Book description
Miss Eleanor Argyle has modern aspirations for a Victorian lady. The
daughter of an intrepid traveller, she's confident and rebellious. After
her father's death, she refuses to be chaperoned by anyone - least of
all a man that she'd much rather bed. She's wanted Mr Gregory Munroe for
years, but she is determined not to sacrifice her independence to get
him. Gregory Munroe is both aroused and infuriated by his charge. She's
stubborn, and he can sense that she's about to try to outrun him. He
thwarts her, trapping her aboard a northbound train. Eleanor is secretly
thrilled, and when she subsequently decides to invite him to a brazen
night of passion, he barely stops to think about her motives. Can
Eleanor have him, whilst also giving him the slip? A fiery mix of
passion and rebellion inspires a chase that runs the length of Britain -
but neither Eleanor nor Gregory expects to find the knowledge that waits
at its end. Reader Advisory: This story was released as part of the
Brits in Time Anthology by Total-E-Bound. _x000D_ Award winning
British author Saskia Walker first dreamed of writing her own stories
when she discovered a handful of romance novels stashed away in her
school library. An avid reader, she lapped up the fun, the adventures,
and the life-affirming emotion of these stories, but always felt dismay
when the bedroom door closed the reader out. She vowed that if she ever
had the chance to pursue her dream, all the passion would be right there
on the page. Saskia finally began writing seriously in the late 1990s.
By that time she'd traveled the world, got herself a BA in Art History,
a Masters in Literature and the Visual Arts, and she'd worked in all
manner of diverse careers-but the stories in her head simply had to be
written. Her first erotic short story was signed in '97 and since then
she has had several single title novel and novella publications, and her
work has appeared in over fifty anthologies including Best Women's
Erotica, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, and the Black lace Wicked
Words series. She writes across genres, but always with the passion
right there on the page! Her novel, DOUBLE DARE, received the Passionate
Plume award for the Best Contemporary Erotic Romance of 2006. Saskia
lives in the north of England-close to the beautiful, windswept
landscape of the Yorkshire moors-with her real life hero, Mark. Mark
supports her work through all its ups and downs, and somehow manages to
keep her sane and grounded when fiction threatens to take over.
